Letterpress invitations

I like the look of letterpress invitations but my budget will only stretch so far.  Before I completely give up on the idea of letterpress invitations, I am wondering if anyone knows of any online or in person places in the Boston, MA, south shore of MA area.  I would need a place that already has a template or a good suggestion of a place to purchase a template for the design.  Failing that, can anyone suggest other types that will mimic the look of letterpress?  My wedding is in December 2010 and I would describe my style as classic / traditional / vintage.  THANK YOU!

    I know Blush Design Studio gets rave reviews on this board. I'm sure one of these ladies can point you in the right direction :)

    Also a blush design studio bride!  I just sent out my invites monday, and my mother and FMIL have gotten tons of calls just to tell them how pretty the invites were!  Mine are the garden wedding invites from February on her blog:

    Add another Blush Design Studio bride to that list!  Liz is working on my invitations now, and she's been amazing to work with.  I thought letterpress invitations would be soo far out of our budget, but Liz's prices are very reasonable and she does really beautiful work.

    We used Blush Design Studio, too.  We didn't think we could afford letterpress, either, but we managed in the end and it was worth it!  BEAUTIFUL work and she's awesome to work with.  Definitely check her out!

    Check out www.whiteaisle.com.  She is in hamstead NH and I am in love with her designs.  I am also a fool for letterpress and find her to be pretty reasonable priced.

    Designers fine press is pretty reasonable too.
